Safe to Great

Mehr zum Buch

In a time marked by climate crises, global pandemics, and disruptive technologies, leaders often resort to fear-based mindsets that prioritize individualism over collectivism, leading to control rather than inspiration. To effectively navigate uncertainty and harness new opportunities, leaders need to adopt a facilitative approach that values purpose over profit and the team over the individual. The author outlines an organizational and leadership development process aimed at fostering a growth mindset rooted in psychological safety. With over 25 years of experience with global organizations, the model presented integrates theory and practice through principles tailored for the challenges of contemporary leadership. By referencing Amy C. Edmondson’s work on psychological safety, the author highlights how a workplace that embraces risk and experimentation can drive innovation. Additionally, drawing on Carol Dweck's concept of a growth mindset, the author advocates for a generative approach to managing people and resources, emphasizing collective achievements over individual power. This relational model champions a new standard of leadership, encouraging a shift from comfort and risk aversion to a culture of curiosity, engagement, and collaboration. The tone is conversational, blending hopeful aspirations with challenging truths.
